Gifts for the person who has everything
Everyone has someone who buys what they want as soon as they want it. For them, the best gifts aren't more things: they're experiences, consumables, or something that couldn't come from a store.

: See coffee beans on Amazon.com (opens in a new tab)Something they'll use up
Good coffee beans, a speciality olive oil or a candle in a scent they love. No space needed, and gone before it clutters the house.
An outing
Tickets to a local show, a museum pass or a class in something they've always wanted to try.
Book this directly with the venue.
A donation in their name
Pick a cause they care about and include a card explaining it. Ask first if your exchange has a rule about this.
Give directly to the cause.
